php in Templates help

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 03:49:16 -0500

Hello folks,

No idea what is going on and its making my poor brain bleed lol.

this is the code I am using in a global template:

PHP Code:
(format_name(htmlspecialchars_uni($GLOBALS['tplvars']['user_casa']['username']), $GLOBALS['tplvars']['user_casa']['usergroup'],$GLOBALS['tplvars']['user_casa']['displaygroup']), $GLOBALS['tplvars']['user_casa']['uid'])?>

This code is working perfectly fine on the original forms:

It is not, however, working at all on the clone forums:

Other php-in-templates stuff is working fine:

The setvar template is all good to go too...

so I really don't know why it isn't working, and I'm not sure what I'm missing to make it actually kick into gear?

the new forums are a literal clone; I moved across everything except the plugins and themes - which were re-installed as needed. I don't think this should affect it but um, who knows? I don't think I missed a template but also could very well have.

Recent Threads on Index makes inactive plugins disappear

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 22:42:25 -0600

I feel like such a nuisance posting for support constantly, but please bear with me.

Basically what the title says is what's happening. I've installed the latest version of the plugin, my inactive plugins list disappeared.

Before the recent threads was installed these are the plugins I had. Afterwards I went and deleted all the files of recent threads, went ahead and also uninstalled 'while you were typing' (just in case, because that was the most recent plugin I'd downloaded before recent threads), and then went ahead and reinstalled recent threads.

But the issue remains. Any idea why that is?

MyAlerts and Error 500

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 14:02:34 -0600

Alerts seem to be working fine on profiles. You have the options here and you get alerts at the top of the board (screenshot).

However, in ACP, if you click on Alert Types, you get an Error 500. Is this supposed to happen or...?

I've gone ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, but I still get the same error. I've also done what was suggested and activated Alerts before the Account Switcher.

Here are the other plugins I have.

Enhanced Account Switcher + overall plugin questions

Sat, 15 Feb 2025 21:23:46 -0600

So... Hi. I'mma preface this by saying that I've never had a MyBB forum before, so everything is new to me (so bear with me if my questions are dumb or obvious).

A few days ago I bought me some hosting with the hopes of at some point running an RPG, installed MyBB. Read up on stuff here. All was fine. Up until the point I broke everything after installing the enhanced account switcher, lmao (and then performed a clean install of MyBB because I couldn't unfuck things).

I'm convinced I must be a dumbass, 'cause after I installed the enhanced account switcher, two things happened:

The plugin page disappeared (here's a pic).
I got an error 500 whenever I tried clicking on plugin updates or browse plugins.

From what I'd read, you're supposed to add the plugin files to the respective folders in the root. So what am I missing? Where are these supposed to go? Do you just upload the content of the inc folder?

In Play Tracker - Names with ' cause SQL Error

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 08:05:34 -0500

Heeeeeeeey

I posted in the appropriate github but I figured I would post here, too, just to see if anyone is able to help because I really would like to get these trackers working, but with it causing an SQL error whenever a name with an ' is input well... This is a Pern site, so 90% of the character's have ' in their name lmao.

[Enhanced Account Switcher] Users logged out after switching accounts

Mon, 06 May 2024 01:35:35 -0500

Hello!

I recently deactivated and reactivated the Enhanced Account Switcher plugin to enable it to work with MyAlerts. As a result, all my styling was disabled (and I fixed that) AND (the main issue here) when users try to switch accounts, they are logged out. This was working fine before the deactivation.

I have found a temporary solution by asking users to log into their linked accounts and then switch to their master account from there, which allows them to finally go forth between the accounts. They can also detach and then reattach the accounts to fix the issue. Even so, this is a temporary solution. I want a permanent solution to fix this so I do not have to ask everyone to do these things or manually do it all myself. :,)

Is there a reason why this happens? and is there a way to fix it?

Let me know if you need a test account.

Newpoints menu adding empty option + shop doesn't show when clicked

Fri, 19 Apr 2024 17:22:33 -0500

Hello!

I am having two issues with Newpoints (+ Newpoints Shop).

1) When the menu loads, it adds an additional 'newpoints_option' template to the menu, which leaves an empty space. How would I go about fixing this? I cannot seem to find WHY it's asking for another space. (This also occurs without the shop plugin, so it is not that.)

2) This is related to Newpoint's Shop plugin. After clicking on 'Shop' in the menu, it sends you to the shop page. On the menu, it no longer shows shop though. Is there any way I can keep it present (as the other options remain when clicked on)?

If I could get any assistance with these issues, that'd be great. Thank you!

Default custom field for OOC vs IC differential?

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 22:53:26 -0500

Hello! It's me (again, sadly)...

For this, I am using Latrodectus 's OOC vs IC differentials code. Using this to create different profiles per player/character accounts. At the moment, users who have not selected 'player' or 'character' (due to the code) do not have any avatar/postbit information.

How would you set a default choice for a custom field (ex. accounts w/ no choice made are players)? Since I'm transferring over from another platform, it looks like I can't force this in the database and users aren't throw into a custom field group by default, despite requiring such.

Thank you!

Additional Settings For Custom Profile Fields

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 23:23:33 -0600

RateU created "Additional Settings For Custom Profile Fields" years ago :
http://mybbhacks.zingaburga.com/showthread.php?tid=1271

However, he seems to be inactive in any MyBB community nowadays.

I did fork his project years later and updated for MyBB 1.8 and some major modifications :
https://github.com/Sama34/Additional-Set...ile-Fields

I open this thread for anyone looking into use this plugin and finding issues with it, so we can work on keeping it updated and functional.

Furthermore, I shall update this thread accordingly as the discussion progress and is necessary.

Regards.

Account Switcher Post Count

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 21:00:38 -0600

I cannot find the variable for the account switcher's post count. Does anyone know how to find it and/or know it off the top of their head?

Also, for things like this in the future, is there a way to find this stuff out through inspect element or the code itself? I could NOT find where '{$post['user_details']}' was referenced (would love to edit it, rather removing it and editing the postbit with each variable).

Thank you guys for being supportive while I figure out MyBB too. I know I have been asking a lot recently!

Newpoints Shop plugin breaks newpoints.php

Sat, 27 Jan 2024 17:15:25 -0600

Hello,

I'm trying to enable the Newpoints shop plugin on my forum. When it's deactivated, my newpoints page shows up and functions normally. However, as soon as I set it to active, my newpoints.php page throws an HTTP 500 error. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Despite not being able to access the newpoints.php page or the shop, points still seem to add normally and the ACP functions normally as well.

Link to site: https://www.fylgja-rpg.com/
I'm using the Newpoints build from here: https://github.com/OUGC-Network/newpoints/tree/feature
And the shop plugin: https://github.com/DiogoParrinha/MyBB-Pl...op%201.9.4

Help with Enhanced Account Switcher

Sat, 20 Jan 2024 22:00:58 -0600

Hello,

I've been attempting to install the Enhanced Account Switcher plugin: https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?action=view&pid=408, but when I hit "Install & Activate", it generates an HTTP 500 error and logs me out of the admin account. When I log back in, EAS is shown as deactivated on the plugins page. I also get a list of errors on the Admin CP.

I also have MyAlerts and DVZ Mentions installed. These are both working normally.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Sign-ups for Enhanced Account Switcher?

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 19:06:14 -0600

Hello!

So it appears that you cannot create a new account from your master account with 'Enhanced Account Switcher.' From what I have tested, you have to log out, create a new account, and then log back into the master account to attach the new account.

That said, an issue arises.

In order to register a new account, you need a new email. You can't use the one to your master account. My website uses email verification to curb spammers... So, how do you guys curb this? Is there a setting I am missing? I don't want to tell users to create a new email for each account, nor do I want them using throwaway emails.

There is also this option: "If enabled, new users will be redirected to the attach form if there exists a master account with the same email address after completing registration." Is this a security risk? For example, if a strange user acquires another user's email, are they able to attach that new account the secondary user's? I have also tried enabling this and signing up with the same email as the master, but it says I need to use a different email since that one is registered.

Thank you in advance.

Usergroup error in Faceclaims Plugin

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 12:26:06 -0500

Using the Faceclaims v2 plugin, I've noticed one of my user groups consistently breaks it.

The usergroup is my "archived" group, which is basically a catch-all for when members/players go inactive but I don't want to delete them.

My troubleshooting thus far

1. Removed the strike coding from the user group display name to see if that was the issue (it isn't)
2. Made it so the archived user group was only listed as archived (instead of having multiple groups associated with one name)
3. Isolated the user group in the Groups To Display Field of the plug in setting to make sure this was actually the problem

Without gid=15, we're gucci:

With:

Possible issues?

1. Some user names are things like ##Andromeda (so that a new character could be called Andromeda). Could this be a problem in how it pulls it?
2. SO many users in this group (+300).

User Activity Promotion keeps incorrectly promoting people

Fri, 05 May 2023 17:30:41 -0500

I have the User Activity Promotion plugin by SvePu that adds "Adds a promotion option to push inactive forum user into another user group." I'm using the most recent version on the github (1.3) which is 2 years old.

Thing is... it's not showing the actual time entered in the form and it seems to disregard the actual numbers when it throws everyone into the Inactive member group. I can see the "6 weeks" entered into the database but it's zeroed out in the form.

Also I noticed that it seemed to ignore the original usergroup because it made a bunch of Admin accounts on my local into the Inactive group despite that not being an option.
